You shouldn't need to worry about it...if you are compieling software, you 
just configure the software correctly...i.e. CFLAGS='-L/opt/glibc/lib 
-I/opt/glibc/include'

If you only need hte old glibc to install something, but think it will work 
with the new, then don't worry about it, just do what you can to get it 
installed, just make sure you don't include /opt/glibc/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf

If its an rpm issue, then try --nodeps
